Windows Media Player 10 - Setup_wm.exe error / No unisntall?

Question

Every time I open up WMP10 it gives me an error with setup_wm.exe. I close it. 15 minutes later it pops up again and subsequently every 15 minutes.

I try uninstalling WMP10 but it gives me the same error with setup_wm.exe and no uninstallation.

I try deleting setup_wm.exe from the WMP10 folder but everytime I open WMP , it creates a new file and the error screen pops up again.

It seems WMP tries to open up setup_wm.exe every once in a while and there's something wrong with the file. I already trying a brand new installation but the same error happens.

Help, what do I do?

Answer 1

Reinstall WMP and then uninstall properly using Add/Remove.

Answer 2

Try downloadin setup_wm.exe somewhere from internet and replacing it. If it doesn't help - try removing all WM registry keys and then delete WM files (reboot after that). This should remove WM unless Billy set any additional defence for system files.
